Apple's next iPhone iteration, the Apple iPhone 5S looks to be breaking with tradition as rather than a software update it may also include a hardware update as well. Rumours have recently surfaced that the Apple iPhone 5S may feature a 12MP camera, which is 4MP higher than the current 8MP camera sensor in the Apple iPhone 5. This rumour comes courtesy of a source from Wonderful Saigon Electrics, the component maket who deals with Apple's camera modules. Other features of the updated 12MP camera sensor include better low-light shooting and HDR support.

The amount of data that you can store on a tablet or smartphone is very limited and even a 32GB flash memory card can get filled up in an instant with today's HD videos, 720p recordings and 8MP to 13MP pictures. Why buy a more expensive smartphone or tablet just so you can get more memory when you can simply buy an external hard disk drive? Well, this is because most external hard disk drives don't connect well to a smartphone or tablet. Unlike most external hard disk drives, the recently released 1TB Seagate Wireless Plus is an external hard disk drive that provides wireless connectivity, without requiring a wireless router.

Senheng is really starting to surprise these days, especially with their recent slew of tablet and smartphone deals. This time around they have a pre-order registration for the Samsung Galaxy Note 8.0. This 8-inch tablet sports S Pen support and should be available at Senheng or senQ stores in Malaysia starting from next week.

Maxis seems to be dropping prices on their smartphone bundles on a weekly basis as this week they revise their Samsung Galaxy Note II bundles so that you can buy one for as low as RM1149. Of course this means having to sign up for a contract under Maxis but this time Maxis are being a bit more flexible in terms of their contracts.

With the Samsung Galaxy S4 / S IV upon us this April, rumours surrounding this flagship smartphone are flying about like crazy. While the rumours about Malaysia receiving both the Exynos 5 Octa Samsung Galaxy S4 / S IV (non-LTE) version and the Qualcomm Snapdragon 600 powered Samsung Galaxy S4 / S IV (LTE) version seem to be true, other rumours include the fact the the Exynos 5 Octa Samsung Galaxy S4 / S IV (non-LTE) version may be priced at RM2199 while the Qualcomm Snapdragon 600 powered Samsung Galaxy S4 / S IV (LTE) may be priced at RM2399 in Malaysia.

For those of you who thought the BlackBerry Z10 was a betrayal of everything that BlackBerry stood for, then rejoice, BlackBerry Malaysia may be launching the BlackBerry Q10 very soon. In an email image, BlackBerry Malaysia asked to set 30 April 2013 as a date that may be important for BlackBerry and made it even more obvious by adding the image of a BlackBerry Q10 next to the date (see the image above for yourself).

We've all been waiting for the Samsung Galaxy S4 / S IV to make its appearance in Malaysia and fortunately that wait may soon be over. DiGi is one of the first telcos to offer a pre-order registration for when the Samsung Galaxy S4 / S IV will hit Malaysian shores (or at least when DiGi gets their hands on their first shipment) which would be 20 April 2013. For now, you can register your interest in getting the Samsung Galaxy S4 / S IV under a DiGi contract or deal by filling up your particulars here. There is no mention of any deals or incentives or even how much the Samsung Galaxy S4 / S IV may cost under DiGi but if you're done waiting, then this is probably the first Malaysian outlet to go to, at least for now. We also have other DiGi telco plans as well which you can see by clicking here.
